Solo session today Sun 11-4-2018.
I always like to take a few minutes before each session to calm my thoughts and to remember to give thanks; for being so BLESSED to have my health and for the opportunity of being able to be here ... enjoying the water, all of it's abundance and this breath taking sun rise on this morning .... amen

This day was practically a repeat of yesterday but this time I was fishing in LAB instead of LAH. I chose LAB today because of the dense fog that had socked-in LAH this morning. The dense fog had actually filled-up more than half of the west end of LAB as well this morning. I could hear the constant loud blaring of the Fog Horns in the distance, up until approx 09:00 hrs.
I was able to stay on the easterly most edge of the fog limits all morning.
Phew!!!

The bite at LAB started off great (promising) right from my launch site and it remained good for about an hour. After that it was onesies here and there for the next hour. The last hour dragged .... I wasn't even getting short bites .... NOTHING! I "white flagged" this session as well. There's always next weekend ... eh!?
I'm just tickled that I was able to land my skunk-buster this morning!
I didn't see any other Float Tubers out there this morning. I had the entire bay to my self!
